THE CAXADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 187 



this as a mere synonym in his Catalogue, but I have seen neither 

 type nor description. 



384. Dasyspoiidcea meadii Grt. — High River (Baird). 



385. Copablepharon sp. — This is not absidnm, nor apparently 

 any described species. I have seen a few other specimens besides 

 the two previously referred to, but have only a single female in mj^ 

 collection, and do not care to describe from it. Mr. Baird has 

 taken it at High River, and I have also seen a female taken by Mr. 

 C. Garrett in Calgary on Aug. 1st, 1907. The primaries are very 

 pale green, with slight fuscous irroration, and secondaries white, 

 fuscous clouded centrally. 



388. Metaphor phyria oregonica Hy. Edw. — Oregona of our lists 

 is apparently a mis-spelling, as was also my previous rendering 

 (Dr. Dyar's) of the generic name. 



389. Melideptria septentrionalis Hy. Edw. — Hampson makes 

 this synonymous with European ononis Schiff. The type of sep- 

 tentrionalis is a male in the Neumocgen collection at Brooklvn,. 

 and is labelled "N.W. B.C." 



390. Heliaca nexilis Morr. — Rather common at timber line 

 in the mountains. My records are: Brobokton Creek, Wilcox 

 Pass, and Sheep Mountain, July 10th to 22nd (Mrs. Nicholl) ; 

 Mt. St. Piran, near Agnes Lake, Laggan, 72-75,000 feet, July 17th 

 and 18th. This is the nexilis of the British Museum, Rutgers 

 College, and Washington collections. 



Var. elaborata Hy. Edw. — One male, Head of Pine Creek,. 

 June 9th, 1897. High River, June 10th, 1909, two 9 s (Baird). 

 I have seen other specimens taken by Mr. Baird. This form is 

 the diminutiva of my former notes on Smith's authority. The 

 error was excusable, as the two are not unlike. But dimimitiva has 

 truncate frontal prominence, which this has not, and differs- in 

 colour and maculation as well. Holland's figure under diminiitina 

 appears to be Melideptria persimilis Grote, a species with rounded 

 frontal prominence and spined tibiic. Superficially persimilis 

 happens to bear a much closer resembalnce to elaborata than to 

 diminutiva, but has an additional white spot near base of second- 

 aries.
